Yeah, can't complain for still being a student. With my MSX and SD Snatcher I was lucky though. I already told you about http://www.marktplaats.nl, right? A fool was stupid enough to want to sell SD Snatcher for €150. I hassled with the seller and got it for €120. How you like them apples?

But no, I don't know how to dump a MSX rom or patch the actual floppy discs. The minds behind 'project Melancholia' are Dutch though, I already send them an e-mail how to do it. When they release the patch, they will put the instructions on their site or in the download pack itself.

PS. can you take a look at my edit in the "PC Engine Version Translation" thread? I'm curious about the Konami code.
Damn!

Usually you just need some kind of floppy disk copying software. Very similar to the programs that make .iso files.
What happens is that you patch the ROM or (Disk Image, really) and then copy it on to a blank Floppy.

Don't you even think about altering those original SD Sntacher Game Disks!
Either A.) It's read only, or B.) You'll possibly destroy the Disk.

Blank Floppies are dirt-cheap these days, anyway.

I do think that's it possible to patch the original floppy's, you can adjust them with a switch to 'read only' or 'write'.

However, I don't think I'll do that although I don't think that alot can go wrong.
Too bad the patch isn't done yet but I think that I'll be playing Policenauts first.

Aren't there more people interested in this patch? Why is there so little buzz regarding this project?

Yes, THE Treasure. You liked Gradius V? Than I also take it that you played Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga? If I may recommend a game, get Bangai-O Spirits. It's a hidden gem.

I can go on and on about those guys, but won't do that here.

But can you speak Japanese? If so, than it's my turn to be jealous.
Who doesn't love Treasure? I have a huge Treasure collection myself, they're easily my favourite developer. Kojima Productions is pretty close too of course :P

Smart choice. I mean, why modify the original?
That's like opening a brand new factory sealed copy and then smashing it with a mallet.
(Okay, maybe not that extreme, but you get the picture)

It's your copy, but I just figure it's better to preserve the original version from 22 years ago and just write the unofficial patched version to a blank floppie. That way you'd perserve the original without having to modify it just to write an unofficial fan patch to it.

That's just my philosophy.

Oh, and you must play Policenauts!

Edit: If you don't want to get the ending of SD Snatcher spoiled, then please, for the love of God, don't look at the liner notes from the Snatcher "Radio Play" soundtrack!

Lucky, I found an alternative, but it hasn't been updated since April 5th.

Anyway, it's been a month since they've updated. Guess I was right about the "Early-2012 bullshit" comment.

    9 July 2012: Max updated the texts up to the abandoned factory. He also changed some graphical data.
    8 July 2012: Max made some improvements to the previously updated parts.
    27 June 2012: Max updated all texts of Junker HQ part 1, outside JUNKER HQ and Pier 17. He also made adjustments to the battle reports.
    26 June 2012: Max updated all texts in the intro demo.
    24 June 2012: Max updated and made some adjustments to the Elijah demo, the end demo and Snatcher base part 3.

There a chance they've hit a hurdle with the "things that need to be done"? They haven't updated since last year, and before then they normally updates several times a month.

Possibly just IRL stuff tho.

Please don't tell me they're reconsidering redoing the whole thing. Unless they're translating the graphics, it's taken them a long time to translate all the text.

Update (June 20th):
16 June 2013 Finished all planned graphical updates for the game!

11 June 2013 Max sent Rieks a list of things he has done the past few months:

[*] optimized game font (now it's 99 bytes less) so the printing is faster and more space created for some other parts of the translation;
[*] optimized font printing subroutine so it works faster;
[*] fixed issues with in-game print subroutine concerning printing of text after the player's name;
[*] re-synchronized intro and ending demo because of new code improvements and different timings;
[*] optimized intro code and moved all code (intro and in-game) from upper memory addresses so universal hard disk loaders have more compatibility; this also resulted in minor speed improvements;
[*] translated graphics in North Downtown;
[*] fixed some remaining text errors found in the game script;
[*] slightly altered game script so that all texts are in North-American English;
[*] optimized the in-game menus so they all have the same style;
[*] ...many more changes; the list would be too boring and very long...[/size]
So is that it? They're done? Anything else?

MOAR Updates (July 7th):
1 July 2013 Max sent Rieks an updated version:

[*] updated the SAVE / LOAD system; now all names will fit inside the frame, even if they use "g","j","p","q","y"
[*] lower case letters; also made some minor textual changes;
[*] updated some in-game text messages (disk change, etc.);
[*] updated the battle menu.[/size]

30 June 2013 Max fixed issue 65 of 79: he inserted a dot after the 'W' in Rieks' name in the intro credits.

29 June 2013 Max sent Rieks an updated version:

[*] improved code in turbo mode search subroutine (it now properly handles MSX computers with RAM in SLOT 0, such as Daewoo CPC-400);
[*] finalized first and third parts of the intro demo;
[*] applied 64 fixes/updates/improvements out of the 79 that we decided on after the previous playthrough.[/size]
Looks like they're on a ball lately. Honestly, they've promised us an early 2012 release, but apparently there was some sort of obstacle they have to overcome, and now it's the summer of 2013. They might as well keep the 10 euro price once it's available.

ANOTHER FUGGIN' UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 16th 9:30 EST:
7 September 2013 Max fixed original game map bugs: the player was able to walk through both the right wall outside the Master Snatcher room and the wall in the bottom left part of the Snatcher Base; now he isn't anymore!

2 September 2013 Max sent Rieks an updated version:

[*] English translation of Survival World is now working;
[*] modified the Survival World script; now the second part of the map is connected to the first part and Survival World is accessible by normal gameplay;
[*] made the second part of the Survival World map "unrollable", like in the Abandoned Factory;
[*] activated all 21 messages in Survival World and attached them to specific characters, as it was originally intended.[/size]

31 August 2013 Max sent Rieks an updated version:

[*] fixed a glitch in the Magical House (the map was damaged on the yellow floor);
[*] internal release of version 0.4.0 - a stable release of four versions (translation, Snatcher SCC, Mapper + SCC, Mapper + SCC-I).[/size]

28 August 2013 Max fixed a glitch in the SCC/SCC-I mapper version which caused the game to crash when entering the battle mode after the Elijah demo.

25 August 2013 Max sent Rieks an updated version:

[*] updated mapper version of the translation. Now original SCC cartridges are supported whlie MegaFlashROM SCC will work too; this is still a beta version;
[*] fixed a glitch with the slot machine graphics in the "Dice Shaker" casino (Godzilla movie graphics patch appeared to be too big);
[*] fixed a glitch in the North Downtown, Syd Garden North and Syd Garden South graphics patch; these appeared to be too big and damaged the data that immediately followed them;
[*] fixed a textual glitch appearing in the battle sequence.[/size]

24 August 2013 Max created a mapper version of the translaion that works on an MSX with 128kB+ of memory which does not require any memory in the sound cartridge. This version supports SCC+ sound cartridges such as MegaFlashROM SCC+, MegaFlashROM SCC+SD, but the original Snatcher and SD Snatcher SCC-I sound cartridges will work as well.

17 August 2013 Max added support of the Snatcher sound cartridge.

10 August 2013 Max finished the final playthrough of disk 1 without finding any bugs.

4 August 2013 All formerly unplanned updates for disk 1 are done; disk 1 is now 100% ready for the final playthrough.

26 July 2013 Max finished all planned updates for disk 1 and 2; there are only a few formerly unplanned updates left on these disks. Now, disk 1 and 2 are almost ready for the final test playthrough. Disk 3 still requires some more work.

15 July 2013 Max fixed an issue with the Panasonic FS-A1FM (hanging after entering player's name).

7 July 2013 Max made some minor changes to the texts in the battle sequence and finalized all intro parts!
So Disk 1's finally done with? Shit. I think these guys are fucking serious with the bugfixes. This just makes me realize SD Snatcher's a lot more buggier than shit. I would feel sorry for Japanese Snatcher fans if they don't get these bugfixes.

So when do you guys expect the patch to come out? My bets are either Christmas 2013 or early 2014.

I bet on Summer\Autumn 2014. If I lose, I'll bake some Neo Kobe Pizza and push 'em through my throat, even if it means asphyxia.
